School resource officers are an important part of keeping students safe.
TIME MATTERS:
In a study of 65 US workplace and school shootings, the fastest police response time noted in events was 5 to 6 minutes, with most taking much longer (Deitz, 2014).
Average on-site response time for law enforcement in active shooter events is 3 minutes (FBI,
2013). But the effective response time (entry and location) is often 7-9 minutes!
The only way to guarantee a fast response (under 120 seconds) is to have on-site Resource Officers and or trained and equipped staff.
